Who is Samuel ?

I build apps that behave, tests that never sleep, and websites that load faster than your coffee order. I am a contractor since Sep 2024, focused on end‑to‑end automation, modern full‑stack work, and delightful user experiences. I am a big AI enthusiast and I like combining my work with AI to turn products into smarter, more helpful companions. When I say end‑to‑end, I mean from the first sketch to shipping day and the monitoring after.

Short timeline
- Early 2023 → Late 2024
Full‑Stack Developer
Built frontends with Next.js and TypeScript, backends with Node.js, and pipelines that didn’t break on Fridays. Learned to love clean DX, strong typing, and tiny PRs. - Late 2024 → Current
E2E Engineer & Contractor
Took ownership of reliability. I design test strategies, wire up CI/CD, and keep flaky tests away like garlic to vampires. Teams sleep better; releases ship on time. - Side project → Ongoing
VisitAI — AI Travel Companion
I created an AI assistant that looks at landmarks through your camera and explains what you are seeing. It speaks, gives historical context, and plans your trip like a friendly tour guide that never gets tired. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon), and Apple Vision; payments are handled with Apple Pay day‑passes and credits.- AI Photo Analysis with instant recognition and multi‑level detail.
- Voice narration and location‑aware trip planning.
- Privacy‑friendly and focused on clear, useful explanations.
What I build for people
- Apps: production in 2–3 months, from product and UI to infrastructure and tests.
- Websites: crisp, fast, conversion‑focused sites in under a week.
- Automation: E2E suites, CI/CD, and performance baselines that keep shipping boring.
